Unless a line plugs with something solid there should be no need to pump it. That said, in theory, there should be no solids in the tank as the bacteria present should liquify anything organic that enters the tank. I see ads all the time for this and that product to put in the tank to maintain it but in reality all you need to do is put in a pack or two of active yeast once in a while and you shouldn't have a problem.

This new deal saying a tank has to be pumped every so many years makes me wonder if the frequency has anything to do with the new "low flow" toilets that put far less liquid into the tank with each flush, in relation to the amount of solids, than the old ones did. Seems to me the extra liquid with each flush would tend to take the liquified sludge and further thin it and carry it into the drain field where as less fluid would simply let it set and build up until it had to be pumped.
